Scripture Verse for the Week: Jesus turned and saw them following him and said

to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to

him, “Rabbi”--which translated means Teacher--

“where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come,

and you will see.” - Jn 1:38-39a

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

January 18-25, 2018

Unity. What does "unity" mean? For those of us who

claim Christ as our model of living and savior of human-

ity, it means we are one. This year the Week of Prayer for

Christian Unity has as its theme the Scripture citation 2

Corinthians 5:14-20. The first line contains our mission

statement... "For the love of Christ impels us, once we

have come to the conviction that one died for all; there-

fore all have died." If that is not a mandate for unity, then

there is none. We are one in the death of Christ and there-

fore live in unity with all other Christians.

God, who are unity in three holy persons--Father, Son,

and

and Holy Spirit--you have called us to live in peace with

all people.

You have also called us to work toward unity in purpose

to spread the Gospel to all nations.

Graciously give us the courage and strength to work to-

ward unity, and act toward each other as brothers and sis-

ters.

We ask this in the unity of God, Father, Son, and Holy

Spirit.

Amen.
